Watch Dinner Rush For Free

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I usually don't write reviews or comments. But I felt like commenting about this movie, mainly because I'm seeing all good comments about it.I thought, this movie was absolutely terrible, and boring. Please hear me out and don't think I'm a troll...this was just my honest opinion on the movie.I watched it for the first time tonight from beginning to end. The entire 1 hour and 40 minutes was basically just talking talking talking talking....no drama or anything. Don't get me wrong, I love good dialogue in movies, but this movie just did not interest me in the least.It basically just follows from one table to the next as people carry on conversations and then ends with two guys getting whacked. You have an old guy who all movie, all he does is talk about paintings. Then you have a smart-ass cook who doesn't care about anybody and he listens to his basketball games on the radio. You've got the guy at the bar who sits there all movie (until the end) talking and drinking. You've got the bartender who takes bets on if he knows the answers to questions or not.At about 50 minutes in the movie comes the very first bit of drama. The chef Duncan decides to poison the mobsters food. After 50 minutes of being bored, my interest perked up a bit. So he puts rat poison in their food...gives it to a waitress and tells her to give it to the mobsters. Then as she's walking up the stairs he changes his mind, grabs the plate from her and throws it away and then tells the other cook to cook the same food up again, this time with no poison. I was like "are you kidding" I understand people have different opinions and interests but I just can't believe this movie was rated so high (7.3) I rated it a 1. Because it did not interest me at all, I thought it was boring, I thought most of the acting was bad and the story went absolutely no where.Now I understand most people who liked the movie will call me a troll, and I admit my review is a bit harsh, but this is just how I feel.

This film crackles with authenticity. Danny Aiello is great in the lead role as the owner of this eatery, rushed off its feet in the evening rush after the day leading to it. He plays ironically opposite to his oft gangster roles. Well structured with an interesting mix of characters, showing their chemistry with each other, the boss, the son, the dish hands, the restaraunts patrons, and food critic, the lust, and the great character John Corbett plays.Dinner Rush is well worth a look. I am sure you won't be disappointed if you like films that simmer at a medium temperature so it becomes cooked nicely at the end with a good surprise in the end how it turned out.

I think this is one of the excellent films of independent cinema. I really like on how they mixed the pleasantness of cooking and the violence of killing people in the same place. the restaurant. The actors are great too.It made me wanna learn how to cook like that, but not kill like that...awesome movie. I can watch it over and over again. I never expected John Corbett's character to be like that towards the end....it was great, i loved it.It's like the food network meets sopranos. just picture it. Good food, being made, and getting wasted!

New York City, and Greenwich Village in particular, is really the star of this modern more light-hearted update of the gritty city films in which Richard Conte used to specialize. John Corbett has one of his best film roles to-date as a customer at the bar. Danny Aiello is magnificent as the restaurant patriarch.Overall, the plot takes a back seat to the Italian food and the Itazlian neighborhood atmosphere that is New-York-in-its-glory through-and-through. It is a movie that invites you to sample it as if you were eating one of its luscious Italian dishes. First, one delicious morsel, than another. Now, stop to digest. Have a sip of wine, eat a piece of homemade bread, sop up the gravy (real Italian-Americans in that section of NY never say "sauce."), then return to the main dish, and sample some more. This movie is a real treat. Watch it on a Saturday afternoon on DVD, then head down to Little Italy and enjoy a delicious meal!
